For the 19th consecutive year, PADI has been awarded the prestigious TAUCHEN Award for Best Diver Training Organisation. The popular German-language magazine, which focuses on topics of interest to European divers including dive travel, equipment and industry news, asks readers to annually select their preferences in 17 different industry categories. PADI has been the enduring favourite, taking home the coveted bronze statuette for the Best Diver Training Organisation every year since its inception.

This award is a tribute to the excellence of PADI Members around the world and the quality training they deliver every day.

PADI Members have plenty to celebrate, because the TAUCHEN Awards are often referred to as the ‘Oscars of the Dive Industry.’ This year, the awards were presented on 27 January, 2017 at the Düsseldorf Night Residency in conjunction with the BOOT Trade Show in Düsseldorf, Germany.

“I’d like to dedicate this award to PADI Members everywhere and thank them for their continued support of the PADI organisation. Thanks also for your expert diver training, contribution to diver safety and outreach. Together, we are the way the world learns to dive.”

– Mark Spiers, Vice President of Training, Sales and Field Services for PADI Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Congratulation to everyone. Not only should this be a great sense of achievement, but also a great marketing tool. These awards will make you an “Award Winning” Dive Centre or even for some a “Muti-Award Winning” Dive Centre.

PADI Asia Pacific is very proud to present the following awards for 2014 performance.

Awards were handed out in 5 different categories with each recipient doing an extraordinary job in 2014 to grow their business.

The competition to get these awards is getting tougher every year as so many PADI dive operators are doing an outstanding job. There is fantastic team work shown throughout PADI Members in the Philippines and because of this, both smaller and bigger stores always have the chance to be a PADI award winner.

With only a limited number of these PADI awards presented, the marketing benefit of being a PADI award winner is invaluable and well deserved.

If you did not make it on the list this year, perhaps next near will be your year.

Please contact your PADI Regional Manager Jimmy Christrup to see how you can work towards achieving your goals and winning awards.
